In the Tablet, a Jewish online magazine, writer Yair Rosenberg can't figure out who is making everybody in Italy dislike Jews.
Who's Behind Italy's Rising Anti-Semitism?
It couldn't be, you know, Jews themselves making people hate them. It's everybody else. As Mr Rosenberg explains, "hatred of Jews does not stem from any one particular group, whether Muslims, the far-right, or the far-left. Instead, anti-Semitism finds its roots in many diverse sources," laughably overlooking the one entity everybody else learned in kindergarten was most responsible for others' perceptions of us.
Dislike of Jews is the fault of everyone except Jews, says Mr Rosenberg, which is "why Jews have historically been blamed for everything from the predations of capitalism to the ills of communism." The fact that Jews invented communism, campaigned for communism both here and abroad, financed communism as a world movement, implemented communism in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, and, under the banner of communism, slaughtered 66 million Russian Christian--eleven whole Holocausts!--is no reason to blame Jews for communism. Because it's anti-Semitic to say what the Jews did.
"Blaming one political group or European community for rising anti-Semitism, then, is a way of avoiding the issue," writes Mr Rosenberg, avoiding the issue by blaming Gentiles. "It is an excuse rather than an honest accounting," explains the most obtuse and un-self-aware person who has ever lived in the entire universe.
While the refusal to look at the beam in one's eye is by no means rare in the world, it nevertheless is still a very off-putting characteristic.
